NEW: The horrific racist attacks in Belfast this week were orchestrated by young members of the global Active Club network—neo-Nazis that promoted using violence in Northern Ireland. @davidgilbert.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/a-whit...
The widespread refusal to take a stand by people in a position to do so is what's killing us by inches.
There are multiple things sinister about Vindman making the Pulse shooting just about gun control:
- He's ignoring that this was a tragedy that fell especially on lgbtq Latine. Why can't he bother to mention this?
- He's ignoring that this was Afghan war blowback. This event destroyed the […]
Some non-bridged bsky acct made a point about the jury composition. I'm seeing some reports saying it was all-white, some only saying no black people, but just to be on the safe side, I edited the above to just say all non-black. Which is the important point anyway.
Then they made another point […]
A country with visa restrictions so bad it interferes with the game simply shouldn’t be allowed to host these events. The US should not be treated as a safe, normal country to host major events. In general, the human rights bar needs to be raised for anything international in nature […]
I'm going to be in Japan only half as long as the rest of my family, so I'm having to think strategically about ingredients now, calculating in my head how long it will take me to go through veggies, oat milk, etc. so that nothing gets wasted when I leave. Thanks the gods bread freezes well...
In Wyoming, yet another stand-your-ground state, a trans woman who fended off a hate crime by brandishing her legally-owned firearm nonetheless faces felony charges. She might not still be alive if she didn't point that gun at him.

In Texas, a "stand-your-ground" state, Karmelo Anthony used a pocket knife to defend himself when surrounded by a gang of people and got convicted of murder by a jury with no black people on it.
Stand-your-ground laws do not function under a philosophy of rugged individualism and self-defense […]
Christianity hasn't existed as long as Ancient Egyptian civilization did and that ultimately gave way to its successors. Whiteness, capitalism, the Westphalian nation-state and especially the USA all have only existed for a handful of centuries. Every empire falls and the nation-state system is […]

After Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson stoked anger over a horrific knife attack in Belfast, a youth group linked to a global neo-Nazi movement quietly orchestrated anti-immigrant riots.
Literally all the referees, including the American ones, should boycott. But nobody will because most people excuse racism unless it's happening to them personally.
